Independent Real-Time Quality Control of Directional Survey Data

P153 Independent Real-Time Quality Control of Directional Survey Data R. Nyberg* (Statoil ASA) & S. Haavardstein (Paradigm) SUMMARY Known and high data quality is a number one priority when using data for real-time decision making. Independent quality control of directional survey data is the key element for good reservoir and safety management. The concept of independent QC shows how gross errors and poor tool performance could easily be detected. Approximately 94% of the wells drilled by the Operator during the test period showed some kind of gross errors and most of these were resolved without any loss of rig time.
